Im wondering if it would be easier for me to import an R33 Skyline GTS-T to America from Australia (queensland) instead of Japan. I am guessing that ya'll have the same emission laws as we do (or a little closer).  What do ya'll think?

If you haven't done so already, better read up on what's involved in getting a Skyline into the US legally - thanks to your laws it isn't at all easy (and at the moment may be impossible). Have a look at the following forums for more info:

Yes i am moving to Australia anyway, but it wont be until Feb 2007. In my hast, i want to bring one state side for a track/race only car. I dont want to have it for the street. Just personal use in autocross and drift events. That way i can gut it and have a sick ass race car. Does anyone know what a R33 GT-R costs in Japan? And is there a switch i could buy for the GT-R to "turn off" the front diff for drifting?

In answer to your questions, R33 GT-R's start from about 20k AUD, and go up from there depending on condition, year, etc.

You can buy controllers which trick the attessa computer into providing full time awd, full time rwd, or a set split between the two

    • KYBs are typically twin tube, putting them in the lower tier of desireability. Do you just want to replace worn out ones for the lowest cost? I mean, you wouldn't just replace one end of a car, if the rears are a similar age to the fronts, then they are probably nowhere near what they should be, and likely won't be great against brand new fronts. So, to spend ~$800 on 2nd tier dampers, when you could get a decent set of MCA coilovers for <$4k.....? As to the strut tops. 1st up, the Sparesbox site specifically tells you that they are not correct for an R33. Beyond that, why do you think you need them?
    • That's not very Toyota of the Toyota!
    • Bringing an old thread back to life Looking to put some new front shocks in the r33Gtst and the KYB still look ok for a road car. Unless there are any other options aroind that price $200 a shock?  I’d like to replace the strut tops also, is this the correct KYB no. For the strut top, KSM7124?  https://www.sparesbox.com.au/products/kyb-strut-top-mount-ksm7124?srsltid=AfmBOoq-HDru8wSlLnQrhU9gCw_uYdKg8gUQzONY-EQOdnI5iXOWEUjY 341287 appears to be the front KYB shocks part no.  thanks all
